The Kraft-Heinz cheese plant in Campbell, which is slated for closure, will remain open through the second quarter of 2017 as officials continue to seek a buyer for the facility.

Efforts to sell the plant to a company that will maintain operations — and retain the facility's 380 jobs — remain ongoing, Kraft-Heinz spokesman Michael Mullen said this week.

“We continue to work with prospective buyers, along with state and local officials, on the sale of our Campbell factory,” Mullen said. “We remain committed to keeping the community apprised of our progress.”

At the time, officials cited consolidation of manufacturing operations as the primary reason for closing the plants.

James Johnson, executive director of the Steuben County Industrial Development Agency, would not comment Tuesday on whether there are any prospective buyers for the property, but said the agency continues to work toward finding a buyer.

“We continue to be engaged with officials at the company and are hopeful we can find a positive solution to keep the facility open,” Johnson said.
